App offers car insurance discount for good driver behaviour

A new ‘AI'-based app
promises drivers up to 30% discount on car insurance if they drive safely.

The SafeDriver Pay-How-You-Drive (PHYD) app,
is being offered by I-Insured, to track and rate drivers' behaviour and offer a
discount for safe driving.

The app, which has been developed by
telematics company Oseven, will detect who is driving the car and to score
their behaviour against a set scale. The driver must have the app active at all
times they drive the car to receive the discount.

To safeguard privacy, the app does not
provide location data to I-Insured, only tracking the drivers score and driving
record.

The app, which is available for Android and
iOS, is available now from www.i-insured.com.

Frederik Bisbjerg, Executive Vice President
said: "The PHYD SafeDriver solution and app gives customers an incentive of a
reduced premium up front encouraging them to drive safely. This will actively
contribute to making the roads safer and helping the UAE reach the ‘Zero-Accident'
vision for its roads."

Thomas Edelmann, Founder of RoadSafety UAE commented:
"Worldwide, drivers using technology to score how safe they drive are
significantly less exposed to accidents and thereby actively contribute to
safer roads. The i-Insured solution rewards drivers up front - and not when the
policy is up for renewal after one year - this will motivate many drivers to be
safe and lessen accidents on the roads."
